3092. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Health if a matter (details supplied) regarding the discrepancy in the language in relation to vaccine certification that exists between the EU website and the Irish website will be addressed given its propensity to cause difficulties for travellers; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Digital COVID Certificate Regulation is intended to facilitate people’s fundamental right to move and reside freely and help to support the lifting of restrictions currently in place in a coordinated manner within the EU.
As the Minister for Health, I am supporting the work of my Department in collaborating with relevant Departments under the leadership of the Department of Taoiseach to assist in the on-going implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificates.
Arrangements for provision of vaccination certificates to persons not vaccinated in Ireland will be considered by the interdepartmental working group working on the implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificates once the initial roll-out is in place.
